Setting up your reminder services

Automatic reminders for tasks with deadlines

Todoist creates automatic reminders for tasks that have a due date and associated time. For example: if your task is due today @ 10am, Todoist will automatically send a reminder 30 minutes before this deadline.

Setting reminders manually

It's easy to manually set and manage reminders. To do this, simply:

Open a task's menu by clicking on the menu icon ().

Click Reminders menu item to open up a window where you can manage your task's reminders.

Location-aware reminders

Todoist users can now create task reminders that, instead of triggering on a specific day or time, will trigger when entering or leaving a specific location.

Location-aware reminders can be managed from any platform (including Gmail or Outlook), but they will only trigger on-the-go when using Todoist on iOS or Android devices.
To activate location-aware reminders in iOS, tap Settings > Privacy > Location Services and turn on Location Services and Reminders. On Android, everything is setup automatically.
